internationals come and go on this monday. good morning to you from all of us here on. the ukrainian capital is headed for another turbulent day as thousands of moved from the central square to surround the prime minister's office in kiev the country's largest protest since the orange revolution violent government buildings stormed and hundreds left injured most of them actually being police this time around the demonstrators are demanding the president's resignation following his snubbing of an e.u. trade integration deal. the latest. it is still pretty tense in the ukrainian capital the this not as many people now as it used to be at the beginning of the protest the protesters have managed to overtake the city

administration building and they now describe it as the headquarters of the new revolution and several hours ago in fact the administration of president of ukraine building looked like a battlefield the future kalash a rupture between the protesters and the riot police and the protesters even used a bulldozer to break the police lines short while ago i went to the administration of president ukraine building to see everything with my own ice the building of the administration of ukraine's president now under siege with several hundred a riot policemen protecting the building to set a buses so that the protesters cannot reach inside and these few few meters basically maybe twenty meters between them and the protesters we walked here we saw literally maybe several hundred of them over here we see shattered glass you can see probably over here some shattered glass on the ground or rocks which were used to throw a bit to throw at the police several hours ago the protesters that tried to assault a building the even used a bulldozer to try to break the police lines as we can see there fail the police

are pretty much in control over here even though we're not even being let inside this perimeter because the policemen appearing that the clash is high enough that at any minute it's actually quite hard to speak here because of all the tear gas which was you said still pretty much felt in the area and the situation is still very very tense here and after losing the battle for the city council building to protesters police set up a barricade right in front of the president's palace and you can get the latest updates by following a. twitter account you can see it i think. in the meantime as some opposition figures in ukraine are openly calling for a revolution to overthrow the current government professor mark almond a historian and oxford university he says the passionate speech is heard in kiev's independence square did not resonate well with all ukrainians. i think we should be careful of attributing what's going on to the majority of people and i suspect that

the tragedy of the great majority of people around the passive and certainly rather dissolution about politics and both equation the risk now is that we have a politics of two minorities and it may be that the group on the streets with kind of paramilitary nationalist support from the west not just western plane but also from some of the were pretty new countries they feel they've got the strobes kind of who were seen anyone in time of the same time and this could change go but it could lead to a very violent situation and it could be you can question whether ukraine is far from the state. and some senior e.u. politicians have blamed russia for what's led to the situation in kiev saying it was kremlin interference that sunk the deal with the e.u. but international relations professor mark sloboda he says it's those exactly same european politicians who are now interfering in ukraine's internal affairs by involving themselves directly in the protests. the fact that they are essentially

on the ground in kiev cheer leading the protesters on calling for a revolution in the country this is a tantamount to the regime change that has been called for in german newspapers earlier today this is a most agree just violation of the united nations charter and international law violation of sovereignty and the non interference of the domestic affairs of other states and i think russia cannot take the whole world community cannot take this agree just act like. i do have a little left in its piggy bank ukraine wanted time to sort out the problem of its ever growing foreign debt and a range of compensation for modernization program he have said this could have helped safeguard jobs before it entered into any deal with the european union robert oulds the chair of the bruges group a u.k. independent old party think tank he says ukraine has to now look east to save its economy. the way forward is to look at the cold hard economic facts such

as ask the question where does most of the ukraine's exports go to the answer he's the vast majority of ukrainian exports go towards washington the cia states therefore ukraine should we see that trade to your. customers you need everybody on the same you have to follow but they have the european union that's one aspect another aspect g.'s if they were to sign a deal with the european union what would be the effect on the economy it would mean adopting new opinion vacations with very little influence over them what would be the effect of that the effect would be to make the economy far more on the head to see if it would mean factories closing down it would mean unemployment you've been you it has change this week high levels of unemployment because of its economic policies particularly excessive regulation just look at the economic facts leave the motion to one side and on series clear that

a deal between the ukraine and the european union is not in ukraine's interest. and here on r.t. international we are keeping a very close eye on the situation in kiev plus you can check out our t. dot com for the updates as well as the latest videos and photos we've also got a detailed timeline there in case you missed it. thanks for joining us for the program a new radical force in u.k. politics is rolling up its sleeves and getting down to business the left unity party wants to revive the working class ideals of labor who they claim now only put the interests of big business on t.v. sets or are silly are now finding out whether the time is right for change. this area right here in front of the house of parliament the house of commons a. protest from those who are against the bedroom tax. or the very high cost of

living that's simply unsustainable for many in this country the two thousand and thirteen to the social attitudes survey that found that about seventy five percent of people here the political system is not working for them so they're disenchanted dissolution and are looking for another solutions that are gathered here to found in the office of the left unity party hoping the creation of this party will give a voice to those who feel unsafe resented by the current government we conservatives and stooges launch an all out class war on the poorest people in this country and labor's doing nothing about it britain is different to the rest of europe in that most of the european countries have a project to lift people in poverty if that's the best they can do with the economy then we can think of a better way to be ok although it has been quoted as saying that what the u.k. and the puppets party have done on the right by creating a party that seriously challenged conservatives who want to do on the left the change will not call me over night but if anything what movements like this

highlight is that a recent thread of citizens reaching a point where they are looking for an alternative which they feel is simply do not exist within the walls of these institutions. reporting from london. and while a rising number of brits disappointed with the government frustration with the rest of europe is also gaining pace online and we report on the widening gap between the u.k. and the e.u. and why people's attitudes towards turning increasingly hostile. are now water is a vital part of our everyday lives but for some it's turning into a luxury still to come here on the program offer a short break we look at how people make it through the day in a country running dry very unusual. something many others take for granted is also notable noticeable by its absence that's the freedom of expression. the country's role as

takes an incredible amount of water to irrigate these got fields the more you pump in the faster these trees grow but even here it's taking its toll of the thirty wells that serve at this village ten have already gone dry and two more are on the verge. in some no the consequences are already visible those who can afford it buy their water from these trucks the rest struggle to get by however they can there are public taps but. the water is often dirty and shortages are common in the city's groundwater could be depleted in less than a decade but for the poorest residents it's as good as gone should be talking about . what i'm saying this as actions around the world it's a matter of definitions. and that's not the. country we have the most see this what's the problem in the world. it's a race against time and one that is losing but here the evenings belong to cut

coming up in a few minutes time here on r.t. international after the recent iran nuclear deal the saudi monarchy has cast doubts about the loyalty of its old allies while at the same time the country's come under criticism from the international community for its very hardline policies peter lavelle and his guests will bring you the latest perspective on that. the saudis are furious over western dealings with iran disappointed that obama didn't bomb syria and determined to export its radical form of islam can the house of saud afford what it calls an independent foreign policy saudi arabia for years isolation they really cannot carry out independent foreign policy because of their regimes limited strength and durability every government the middle east except turkey and israel because their democracies every single other government is fragile you look at a fairly stable country like jordan it is fragile as well i hope for side arabia's

would become a constitutional monarchy more like jordan but saudi arabia has lots of work to do to. be able get to cross talk in just a few minutes here on our international low salaries and poor prospects so cited among key reasons the young israelis are increasingly leaving their native country artie's paullus now reporting on the new generation choosing the bright lights of europe the u.s. and even latin america rather than that of the promised land. their ancestors may have called it the promised land but more and more young israelis are seeking their fortunes far from its golden shores a former israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin once branded those who immigrated from israel cowards but these days most of the people who are leaving are young educated smart and successful many don't come back there's a word in hebrew for those israelis who believe your dream which means the same

thing until recently it was attributed to misfits lower class and people who couldn't find their place in society but alone a is a straight a pupil she want to scholarship to study at the american university in washington d.c. the fact that that's the only jewish country plays a certain role but it's not something that should limit ourselves. but the debate was read night after two of this year's nobel prize winners in chemistry were israelis who left for the states an embarrassing reminder of the extent to which local talent has flowed very bible has a computer technician who sitting up his own business in the german capital. for me at least life was like every day going to war your always fight with your customers and fight with your clients i had my own business there and it was always a struggle and your life is more calm you can relax you can sit quiet you can sleep quietly like very many israelis land up here the city from which adult runs

from which is why the country's finance minister recently thundered from his facebook page that he's a little impatient with people who are willing to throw the only country the jews have into the trash because bergen is more convenient actually pissed me off to read this comment on why if i stay there it's because it's good for me financially it's good for me socially but bottom line it's still economics for many the most common complaint among those israelis living abroad is that back home salaries are low and prices high. and it's almost impossible to make ends meet it's a cliff to swell two years ago with the ecuadorian wife after giving israel a try he decided to be for the country if israel wasn't such a complicated economically. i could. i wouldn't have left. tens of thousands of his way to live today pooled to israel's founding fathers it's

a sign of the means good bye to the beloved country. television. but i'm back in half an hour's time with more of the world's headlines here on r.t. international next those saudi arabia that sits on billions of petro dollars has big plans regionally and globally that's the issue with people of oil and as guests on cost. ukraine is in a tough spot right now trying to figure out whether to join the e.u. or the arrangements custom union it would be nice if they would you know maybe allow the populace to vote for their future via referendum but sadly it looks like the politicians will be making a historic decision i can see why some people want to look west and some people want to look east but i don't understand why so-called ukrainian nationalists want

so desperately to join the e.u. first off any nationalist groups in the e.u. are automatically demonised as right wing extremists and the politically correct west patriotism is pretty much a dirty word generally nationalist like their culture and the people who are part of it but if you look at migration trends within the e.u. we see that the slavic part of it is flooding western europe looking for work i have many relatives from the slavic part of the e.u. and almost all of them have to work abroad and might so nice to be able to work in europe but the reality is that ukrainians will probably be. paid even less than bulgarians rumanians to clean toilets in london ukrainian nationalists don't have to like russia or join the customs union or join any bloc of countries but advocating a future for themselves the e.u. seems absolutely backwards at least to me but that's just my point. this is a so we leave the. bush and secure the place for the physical

. issues that no one is asking with to get that deserve answers from. politic.

one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred cities of. people or sixty thousand. in a record setting trip. on our march. hello and welcome to all things considered on people about what is the fate of the house of saud its list of complaints against washington. is long and getting longer

the saudis are furious over western dealings with iran disappointed that obama didn't bomb syria and determined to export its radical form of islam and one of its only real friends in the region is israel given all of this can the house of saud afford what it calls an independent forum paula. cross-talk saudi arabia i'm joined by my guest brian becker in washington he's the national coordinator of the answer coalition and in nashville we cross to mark levine he is a senior fellow with the truman national security project and a radio show host or a gentleman cross talk rules in fact and you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it brian is it time for washington to tell saudi arabia to pound sand well i think it's been long established that the u.s. government considers the saudi government to be an indispensable ally not its only ally and perhaps now not its principal ally but certainly an important one ronald

reagan made it clear more than thirty years ago that there would be quote no revolution in saudi arabia because the us was just absolutely determined to keep the absoluteness monarch in power there not because they care so much about what's going on inside of saudi arabia but because they consider it to be essential as the main oil export or in the world in a geo strategic ally but of course the saudi government has other things to worry about principally it's a it's a it's an unstable regime in the way saudi society has been organized it's a distorted society and it fears revolutions either from a secular opposition or more importantly from an islamic opposition and so in that sense the saudi government is always pursuing a foreign policy and a domestic policy based on sort of existential fear that the regimes days although it seemed to nip it in a while ago could in fact be numb.
